Letters Patent No. 99,758, dated February 15, 1870.

w 4IMPROVEMENT IN RULING-MACHINES.

`Ihe Schedule referred to in these Letters Patent and making part of the same To all whom fit may concern Be it known that I, GEORGE W. CASILEAR, of Washington, District of Columbia, have invented a new and useful Improvement to the Ruling-Machine; and do hereby declare that the following is a full and exact description of the construction and operation of the same, reference being had to the accompanying drawing, making a part of' this specification, in which- Figure 1. A is a perspective view.

Figure 2. B is a roller1 with waved surface.

Figure 3. C, band-pulley.

Figure 4. D, sides.

Figure 5. E, bottom.

Figure 6. F, arm or lever.

Figure 7. G, swivel.

Figure 8. H, bridle.

Figure 9. I, button-screw on end of' lever.

Figure 10. J, nut.

Figure 1l. K, rollel.

Figure 12. L, clampnnt.`

`Figure 13. M, screws.

Figure 14. N, washer'.

Figure l5 is a specimen of ruling invention. Y

Figure 16 is a section ofthe pen-beam of a rulingmachine, with the two series of pens arranged in the position necessary to produce the crossing ot' the lines, as hereinafterdescribed.

The nature of my invention consists 1n providing a a device for producing a waved line or lines, with one pen or set or sets of pe'ns.

A is a perspective view of the improvement.

B is roller, with waved side surface.

Roller K plays against the waved surface of roller produced by my B, producing an oscillating motion at button-screw I, which can be regulated at pleasure by moving swivel G.

The outer endmof lever F is connected with the penbeain of an ordinary ruling-machine, in such manner as to communicate to it the oscillating or vibrating motion produced bythe waved rim of wheelB, and this `causes the line or lines ruled upon the paper to have a waved or serpentine form, and by using a double row or more of pens, as shown in tig. 16, a series of interlaced eccentlic lines, in one or more colors of water-inks, corresponding to the patterns of the curves `upon wheel B, as seen in lig. 15, at P, are produced.

The waved wheel B and the feeding-rollers of' the ruling-machine are connected by gearing, bands or other devices, so as to move isochronously; and the distance between the two sets of pens, a b, is adjusted with reference to the length ofthe waves c c upon the \Vheu the cross-lines are to be of' different colors, of course each series of pens is supplied with a different colored ink, in the usual manner.

The combination, with a` ruling-machine, of the waved wheel B and vibrating lever-F, or their equivalents, substantially as and for the purpose set forth.

Also, the combination of two or more sets of pens with the waved wheel B, to produce the crossed and interlaced ruling shown in lig. 15, substantially as set forth.
